What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a school-focused role where I can coordinate safety initiatives and provide high-trust administrative support—handling confidential records, reporting accurately, and partnering with leadership, families, and community stakeholders.

I’m a highly organized, detail-oriented administrative professional with extensive experience supporting school leadership, managing confidential information, and coordinating daily operations. Bilingual in English and Spanish, I’m known for strong communication, integrity, and the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy.

Across roles from Building Associate (Special Education Associate) to Building Office Assistant and now Restoration & Safety Coordinator, I’ve coordinated safety-related projects, compiled and maintained compliance documentation, supported registrar services, and processed payroll and financial records. I lead crisis response efforts with calm, accurate communication, support substitute staffing and daily building operations, and rely on systems like Infinite Campus, IFAS, AppliTrack, Aesop, and NovaTime to deliver consistent reporting and student records management.
